Pick up S. Drew? whir

Postby lyons595 » Wed Apr 29, 2009 11:47 am

My SS position is my weakest position on O and Drew was dropped. Does it mak sense to pick him up? Id have to drop someone, likely Cruz or a RP.

Thanks for the help with mine! Honestly I would hold onto Cruz, he is a beast and should continue to hit homers all year. I wouldn't drop a reliever, we all know how valuable saves are. Drew is a nice player but I don't think he will make or break your team, plus Hardy will start hitting soon enough. Worse case scenario down the road if Hardy is still not hitting you could trade one of your outfielders or Prince Fielder and get a SS+another bat or pitcher.

Thanks for the help with mine. This is actually very similar to my issue. In your case I would advise against dropping Cruz period. I think he will be a second or third round talent next year. That's me personally. I would never recommend dropping a closer.

I really don't think Drew will make enough of an impact this year to make him worth targeting now that he is on the DL. Hardy will have his hot streak and at that point you should sell him high for another short stop.

I would hold pat unless you can put Valverde on the DL (didn't I see him go today). You would then have some room on your bench to see what happens. If he comes back before Valverde then you have trade options. Here is another questions. What are you going to do when Glad gets bac

Tough call. How long is Drew out? If it's only a week or so, why not drop Hardy and just put Drew at your SS for a week. You can rotate Cruz to your OF slot (on off days) to help make up the offense. Just a thought. Drew is defnitely a better long-term option (than Hardy) that's why it might be worth considering.

Can you return the favor plz? viewtopic.php?t=381810

I would have to agree w/ everyone else, you dont need to pick him up. But to put my 2cents in, I think you should try for upgrade in the rotation ,I would be lookin to improve there and not your offence
If there is baseball in heaven!!!! Be very aware of the starting lineup
